  • Patent number: 8802707
    Abstract: This invention is a method of killing the stealthy intra-cellular bacteria which are key to the pathogenesis Cancers. These very tiny L-form Cell-Wall-Deficient (CWD) antibiotic-resistant bacteria live within the cytoplasm of cells, including the phagocytic cells (e.g. monocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, neutrophils and polymorphonuclear cells) of the immune system itself. The cellular proliferation in Cancer is catalysed the action of the same tiny L-form bacteria. They cause the cell nucleus to release mRNA signaling the Th1 cytokine cascade without the need for conventional signaling via, for example, CD4+T -Lymphocytes. Some of these Cytokines and Chemokines, including, without limitation, Cellular Adhesion Molecule (CAM), create the environment which allows the cellular proliferation to start, and then allows the cancerous growth to gain a foothold in the body. Killing these stealthy pathogens removes the environment needed to initiate and feed the cellular proliferation commonly called ‘Cancer’.

  • Publication number: 20130281395
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating infectious, inflammatory and post-traumatic disorders by administering various compounds newly discovered to have TLR4 inhibitory activity. In addition to methods of treatment, the present invention further provides for pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds, together with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. Because TLR4 is the most upstream receptor in the pro-inflammatory LPS signaling cascade, treatments of the invention, which inhibit or antagonize TLR4 action, may avoid the pitfalls associated with other cytokine inhibitors that act further down the pathway and accordingly play a less specific (and perhaps non-critical) role.
